We stated last week that we doubted the
correctness of the Woodstown Nonitor's in
formation to the effect that especial effort is
made by parties in the interest on Tum-sellfng
to get drunken men on the streets on sunday
SOFAS to create the impression that prohibition
don't prohibit" The Sunbeam also states that
some one has been "fooling' Bro. Fogg. The
Monitor Of Friday contained the following;
"WelI, we received a letter on Wednesday
from a respectable and reliable citizen Of
Salem who had lust read the item and the South
JeTsey9naf'S comment thereon, and who says
that he, for one be lieVes the Monitor's infor.
Tnant is correct in his assertion and that he
knows ofmany others beside that believe the
same.
The citizen referred TO may be respectable,
but we are willing to wager q penny cake that
he is not reliable, and that his own neighbors
will say so! Dare the Monitor 10 name the
citizen.-SOuh J~erseymun.
We dare name the citizen and in addi-
ton could name half a dozen others-re-
spectacle and reliable--the peers of any in
Salem, who, since the above appeared in
the last issue Of our esteemed contempo-
rary, have sent US word over their own sig
natures that they also believe the case to
be as represented to us by our first inform
ant. But we don't intend to publish the
names all the same. We published the
statement on what we considered good au-
thority, and from what we know Of the
temper and spirit of the RUM business we
saw no reason to doubt it. The letters we
have since received only confirm the con-
c%lnsion. We are satisfied. If the South
~Jerseynaan is not we cannot help it. We
did not start out upon the mission of con-
vincing the South JersegDaR, nor do we
propose to carry on any controversy with
it on the subject or involve our correspond
ents in any. II anybody is 'fooling" us
we wont ask any one else to help us bear
the brunt of the misfortune, feeling abund-
antly able TO take care Of ourselves in this
instance. <SRn6eam please copy and tut
us no ''tuts.'')
